1、Designation: B 540 97 (Reapproved 2002)Standard Specification forPalladium Electrical Contact Alloy1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B 540; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revisio

2、n. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers an alloy containing pa

3、lladium,silver, copper, gold, platinum, and zinc in the form of wire, rod,and strip for electrical contacts.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard. The SI units may be approximate.1.3 The following safety hazard caveat pertains only to thetest methods portion, Se

Materials and Manufacture3.1 Raw materials shall be of such quality and purity thatthe finished product will have the

7、 properties and characteristicsprescribed in this specification.3.2 The material shall be finished by such operations (coldworking, heat treating, annealing, turning, grinding, pickling)as are required to produce the prescribed properties.4. Chemical Composition4.1 Material produced under the specif

8、ication shall meet therequirements of chemical composition shown in Table 1.5. Mechanical Properties5.1 The contract or order may specify ultimate tensilestrength, elongation, mirohardness (Knoop or Vickers), or acombination of these mechanical properties (as listed in Table2, Table 3, and Table 4)

9、as temper criterion. If the contract ororder does not specify a temper criterion, then the criterion fortemper designation will be ultimate tensile strength and elon-gation.6. Test Methods6.1 Test methods shall be in accordance with SpecificationB 476.6.1.1 Knoop hardness tests shall be in accordanc

10、e with TestMethod E 384. Material 0.005 in. (0.13 mm) in thickness(diameter) and larger shall be tested using a 100-g indenterload. Material less than 0.005 in. (0.13 mm) in thickness(diameter) shall be tested using a 50-g indenter load. Aminimum of five hardness indentations shall be made on eachsp

11、ecimen. All indentations shall be made so that the long axisof the indenter is parallel to the rolling or drawing direction ofthe material. The hardness value reported shall be the averageof the five indentations.6.1.2 All tension test specimens shall be full cross-sectionsize when practical (see Te
